North of Forever


North of Forever, originally uploaded by Sky Noir.

October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon
more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight,
and the enduring constellations above them once again.

Blackrock Summit Sunset


Blackrock Summit Sunset, originally uploaded by Sky Noir.

Blackrock Mountain trail emerges from a dense forest onto a jumble of boulders. In the fading light and gusty wind this rocky summit looked and felt like something you might see in the Rocky Mountains out west. I tried to capture this feeling in this HDR image with the golden sunlight and the trail leading you upward among the craggy rocks. The black and green splatters on the rocks are Lichens growing in great abundance and verity.
